Streetlights

We can go and walk in the darkness
Get relief at each streetlight
I don't know how much it would cost us
Probably more than I've spent in my whole life

On these silly ideas that waste more time
Than I had to lose when I woke up this morning
Seems like I've got so much more to lose now
Than I ever had before

Little beanie-bean with the calculator keys
Can he add it all up, make it all make sense to me?
I've got no idea how much more time
I've got left if I can't get my mind right
The simplest little melody has got me all tangled up in knots

We can go and walk in the morning
We don't need streetlights just a new start
Not paralyzed by appearances with big ideas
And just way to smart to walk around on the surface
When there's an ocean just beneath its blue-green smile

All the while nothing stopping me
From jumping in and sinking fast
I'll sing you to sleep first
